Comments on: Haircuts hardly happen http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/haircuts-hardly-happen/ Welcome to the home of Beta Mum - who lacks the lifestyle and perfectionist tendencies of Alpha Mummy, but rubs along pretty well most of the time Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:15:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: guineapigmum http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/haircuts-hardly-happen/#comment-3621 guineapigmum Fri, 23 May 2008 08:55:32 +0000 http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/haircuts-hardly-happen/#comment-3621 Mobile hair dressers - definitely the way to go if you don't want the guilt trip. I have a couple of friends who do this for a living and while they might be able to manage a shampoo & set, I'm sure they'd rather do a trendy chop & tint. And they may come round once the kids are in bed. And as for myself, I am so looking forward to needing a hairdresser again. One of scissor happy friends came round and cut it short before it all fell out under the chemical cosh. Now it's growing back and I can use shampoo again (the thrill!) and soon I'll be able put a comb through it... Now look what you've done, you've got me all excited at the prospect of getting it cut.

But even my children don't let me cut their hair. mya - i'm afraid, for me, mobile hairdressers smack of shampoo and set, and I'm not quite ready for that yet. Am i being unfair? A wig may be a better idea. jen - that kind of mobile would be a challenge and well worth the horrifying amount hairdressers charge. sarah - not yelling would be a great boon. Unfortunately though those kind of cuts need a lot of maintenance, and that's just what I can't provide. missy - thanks and welcome. Stars sound like a weekly job to keep up. gillie - the twilight salon sounds a wonderful idea, and i’m sure with such a high percentage of both parents working full time here, it would be a real money spinner.

I think you are right. The kids would give you way more free time. They might also behave in public so you wouldn't yell at them and draw attention to the fact that you were related.

They can come and visit you at home. The kids can watch (point and laugh) and it can become an enjoyable, educational, bonding experience. Or buy a wig?

You need the Twilight Hair Salon of Meadowfield. Open from 8pm-10pm so that the owner can spend time with her kids and family and then get out for some light relief (cutting other people's hair) when the sprogs are safely tucked up in bed! Sadly it's probably too far away for you, but perhaps the idea could travel?
